The nutrient composition of some neglected and less familiar plant seeds was studied. The seeds showed wide variation in constituents and could be compared with commonly consumed food articles. The protein content ranged írom 29.2 g /kg in Callitris intratropica to 253.5 g/kg in Percopsis elata, while the carbohydrate content was found to be between 330.5 g/kg and 734.8 g/kg in P. elata and Dracena...
There is a rather widespread view that inadequate composition of diet, with respect to the content of certain natural products and presence of foreign substances in food rations, is a very important factor contributing to the occurrence and development of certain neoplasms. The opinions on this problem show a constant evolution. This review tries to provide a picture of the present state of knowledge...
The effect of dehydration in saccharose or starch medium at 30°C and 80°C on the kinetics of convection drying of apples (Idared or Lobo variety) was studied. Osmotic pre-treatment was shown to cut down the drying time of apples with the dry weight moisture content of about 3 g H20/g after dehydration. The water removal rate during drying decreased independent of the degree of dehydration in either...
Starch from kudzu roots (Pueraria lobata) was isolated, characterized and compared with commercial available starch products such as potato, corn and wheat. The yield of starch from kudzu roots ranged from 65 to 162 g starch/kg depending on the age of the root. The examined diameters of kudzu starch granules showed that about 80% had an average diameter less than 32 µm. The fat and protein contents...
In summary, the nutrient requirements of the premature infant are not well defined, but the CPS Nutrition Committee has provided a systemic framework for describing recommended nutrient intakes. These current recommended intakes appear to provide safe quantities of nutrients that support intrauterine growth rates. Still uncertain, however, is the extent to which the recommended intakes lead to the...
The nutritional habits of women and men employed in the budgetary and non-budgetary sectors were assessed for the Wielkopolska region Irrespective of the differences observed for both groups of workers, the examined food rations were not balanced regarding the proportions of energy from fats and carbohydrates, antioxidant vitamins, saturated fatty acids and dietary fibre. The differences in the intake...
The content of carbohydrates soluble in water at 80°C was examined in wheat grain at the stages of incomplete maturity (33 and 40 days from blooming). High content of the carbohydrates was found, which rapidly decreased during grain development. The high-performance liquid chromatography of hot-water extracts showed several percentages of fructose and glucose and many times greater percentages of...
Nutritional status of patients infected with hepatitis was studied. Twenty four male patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C virus infection were selected from those attending the outpatients clinic in El-Harm Hospital. Also 21 male healthy volunteers were taken as controls. Clinical and dietary status of all individuals was examined. There were 4 cases with cirrhosis associated with ascites,...
Thyroid activity is influenced by both food amount and composition. It is affected by protein to carbohydrate ratio, fat composition and level of dietary cholesterol. The role of thyroid hormone in the regulation of metabolism implies the necessity of taking into consideration the relationship between nutrition and thyroid activity in the design for nutritional interventions
